If you're not familiar, RCRD LBL is a curated site that launched as a joint venture between Downtown Music LLC (Gnarls Barkley, Cold War Kids, Santigold) and Peter Rojas (Engadget, Gizmodo, Weblogs, Inc.), featuring music that the site's editors think is catching on or will be catching on soon.
During SXSW Music (March 16-20), music fans who follow RCRD LBL's Foursquare brand page and check in at certain venues (click here for more info on that) will get info on shows, free music and the chance to win an iPad 2 (no queuing up, folks!).
RCRD LBL's Foursquare partnership is just one of many ways you can navigate the musical jungle that is SXSW. Keep an eye on Mashable for even more methods of macheteing through the Texas undergrowth in the coming days!
